I agree but also Hobbes says that “This is more than consent or concord; it is a real unity of them all, in one and the same person, made by covenant of every man with every man…” This pertains to the subject of covenant. Hobbes believes that not just some of men have to agree on a Leviathan, that everyone has to agree. Having everyone agree on one thing would be impossible, for example this is why we have the type of government we do today, everyone votes and the side with the most votes’ wins. This shows how people can never agree on one thing, thus proving Hobbes’s view that peaceful existence with each other is impossible because you need to have total agreement and that is not feasible.
